W. F. BARTLETT, OF HILLSDALE, MICHIGAN.

Letters Patent No. 59,810, dated November 20, 1866.

SPECIFICATION- TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Be it known that I, W. F.BARTLETT, of Hillsdale, in the: county of Hillsdale, and State ofMichigan, have invented certain new and useful improvements in CombinedLantern and Foot Stove, and I do hereby declare that the following is afull and complete description of the construction and operation of thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings making a part ofthis specification, in which Figure 1 is a top .view. I I

Figure 2 is a vertical section in the direction of the line x z, in fig.1.

Figure 3 is an end view.

Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the several views. I

A represents the case, the form of which is indicated in the drawing. Onthe inside of the case and connected to the sides are strips, B, onwhich the foot-plate rests. This plate consists of two narrow strips,shown at C, and the dotted lines, C, fig. 1, extending across from oneto the other; on top of these strips is a piece of sheet iron, D, and tothis are connected cross-fines, D, that extend down to the iron, E,which extends across on the under side of the strips C; thesecross-fines, D, extend part way across from one of the strips, 0, to theother, one extending from one side and the next from the opposite side,as indicated by the dotted lines, F, in fig. 1. There can be more orless of these cross-fines, as required.

The foot-plate can be covered with carpet or other material, so as torender it more comfortable, and it is also adjustable, and can be easilyremoved, when the lamp can be reached without any inconvenience.

G represents the lamp, and a strips attached to the bottom of the casefor keeping the lamp in place. The heat from the lamp, coming againstthe reflector H, passes up over the sheet iron, E, in the direction ofthe arrows, H, passing out from under the foot-plate and out at I. Asthe heat passes between the sheet iron. D and E, it passes round thecross-fines, D, in the direction of the arrows, in fig. 1.

The object of the cross-fines, D, is to conduct the heat over moresurface than if it passed straight out be tween the pieces of sheetiron, D, E, and also to strengthen the plate so that the pressure of thefeet cannot effect any harm. At the end of the case is a door, J, thepanel or centre of which is glass; this door is for the convenience ofgetting at the lamp. This stove can also be used for a lantern, thelight reflecting through the glass in the door, K being the handle forcarrying it. The openings, 6, are for the admission of air.

' What I claim as my improvement, and desire to secure by LettersPatent, is-

The cross-fines D, and reflector H, in combination with the lamp G, andcase A, as and for the purpose.

set forth.
